5 tie limit? | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Whats the point of the 5 tie limit again? I know originally it was to keep people from getting medals accidentally in low scoop brackets (like if everyone had like 1 or two scoops, there would supposedly be enough that the tie would negate the non-player bracket)
but that doesn’t really work, as we all know people get accidental medals in the non-competitive brackets all the time.
otherwise it just seems arbitrary |

I’ve been in situations where without a limit, 7 or 8 way ties would have been on the table. Because of the limit, people are forced to compete, while it is still high enough to make arrangements and share medals. |

it encourages competition among, what, clanmates? at this point, with one clan dominating given brackets, it becomes more of a cause of internal strife than a useful motivator for competition. |

I see that as a good thing. Otherwise all klanmates in the dominating klan would just get all the medals. Boring for everyone, except maybe those in that klan.

i don’t see a problem with that if everyone put in the same effort to get the scoops/cards |

Don’t be so greedy, PD. Your klan got 18 medals in the top bracket and you are still not satisfied? |

some players had to forgo medals they had planned for to keep within tie limits. its just opens up the possibility for too much drama. |

And drama is a bad thing why? Also there are players who put a lot of effort into domination but have no chance to get any medals at all because of certain raiders… Log in to see images! |

I wasn’t in that bracket, but I do like the tie limit. I think it helps keep klan size in check. If there are unlimited ties, why wouldn’t raiding klans just grab lots and lots more bodies? I don’t think reducing it further is a great idea, that would really put an even bigger crunch on unklanned players. |
